After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Rockets 96-77. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
